The Last Samurai is a fantastic story which is beautifully filmed. I am fascinated by Japanese culture and the samurai in particular and this is a wonderful insight into their world. Tom Cruise is actually pretty good in this although for me it is the story that is the real star especially as some elements are based on actual events.
Synopsis: American military captain, Nathan Algren, is hired by an American arms dealer to demonstrate the might of their weapons by defeating the samurai warriors. Forced into battle before his army are prepared they are easily defeated by the organised might of the samurai. Algren is captured and begins to see the samurai in a very different light.
